    Biggio said he would play catcher in the final game if the Braves weren't in postseason contention. Well, they were eliminated last night.

    Pretty sure they've announced he'll catch Backe for a couple of innings.

    Did Oswalt get shut down? He didn't pitch in the Cincy series and isn't scheduled for Atlanta.

    Either way, I guess I'll have to record Sunday's game since I'll be watching the Texans. I'd love to see Biggio behind the plate one more time.

    Going tonight, Saturday I'll be at the UH game and Sunday I'll be watching the Texans.

    I was so pumped up to see him catch Roy O tonight but it will still be nice to see and cheer for him one last time

    Good-bye, Mr. Astro, indeed.

    Thanks for the memories, Craig Biggio.

    (There are a ton of these here.

    Thank goodness for Berkman and Oswalt. Biggio and Bagwell simply made the Astros for two decades.

    Can you imagine how difficult it would be to follow a team who doesn't keep any solid players around for more than four or five years?

    Yes, I'm feeling it too. My love for Craig Biggio, as well as the pizza from earlier tonight. [​IMG]


    I really, really hope that Randolph guy is sent packing forever, & ever, & ever ...

    & ever ...

    Never to return.

    We are going to miss you Bidge. You played the game the right way.

    I grew up a huge Astros fan. While playing little league baseball I idolized Bagwell and Biggio, and now it's all coming to an end...... :(

    I though he was planning on ending the game behind the plate, the same way he started his career. If he plays an inning or two at the end, I doubt Backe is still pitching.

    Biggio is STILL two off the all time HBP record. He had, what, half a season to get hit by four measly pitches? Damn, Bidge, ya couldn't lean into a couple these past few weeks? The ball that broke the record would have been a great addition to Cooperstown.

    BOO-G-O!!
